“This ribbon cutting ceremony marks an important milestone in the evolution of Curry Nursing,” said Michelle McMahon. “Through the Labouré Center for Advancing Healthcare Opportunity, Curry College honors the Labouré legacy while uniting two longstanding nursing programs that have educated local nurses for many years. It has been a privilege to help guide this transition and witness the strengths of both programs shape our shared future.”
